The computer is heating up and shutting down unexpectedly, toshiba satellite L505D-S5983

Check to see if there are any keys stuck/depressed. If so, use a paperclip and fit it underneath the key and gently pry the end that is stuck. Make sure the laptop is off before attempting this. Observe where the boot process ends and starts over. In most cases, this will give an indication where the problem occurs. If the laptop reboots early on in the process, for example when it is detecting the hard drive, chances are good it is a hardware issue. If the reboot occurs further along in the process, like when it is loading operating system files, there may be an issue with operating system software. Test all power and data leads that attach to your hard drive SATA the leads from your (motherboard to your hard drive) make sure they have a secure dust free connections and are not faulty Make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd have secure connections and are not faulty. even something as small as faulty fan lead can cause you problems computers need all of the data and power to travel through every working device and to have an end for a computer to be able work properly. Motherboard and a hard drive any leads between them will fail before your motherboard or your hard drive check all power and data leads make sure they are securely seated even the cd/dvd drives need to have current go through make sure these devices are working Check your computer ram modules for secure dust free seating you might even remove the ram modules to check for dirt on modules and in the module socket and cmos battery make sure it has charge and they are dust free and securely seated some motherboards cmos batteries are soldered in If your computer runs long enough scroll to bottom toolbar (bottom of screen) right click select task manager applications you will see whats running if you see anything you dont need running select end now and you might uninstall that specific program if you or computer does not require it to run and some unnecessary programs that could be running your computer over its limits causing memory dumps also under processes see what is ticking over in the background you might have a virus again if you see something you dont need to be and users you will see who is using your computer You might need to add more computer ram if you're not sure if a module is right for your system use the Crucial Memory Advisor tool for a list of guaranteed compatible modules. first you will need to select the manufacturer from a drop down list then select your product line from a drop down list then select the model then click find it will take you directly to compatible ram also you will have an option to scan your system You should always ask for a guarantee on the compatibility of the ram before making any purchase Might be getting hot check you CPU make sure its securely seated and has thermal grease http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Thermal-Compound-Roundup-February-2012/1490 Capacitors look like small metallic canisters and they are found in many different computer components including computer monitors, computer motherboards, video cards, power supplies and a variety of other consumer products. A bad capacitor can cause a variety of computer problems, but if you can identify the faulty capacitor you may be able to replace it and save your computer. Capacitor Capacitors, sometimes also called condensers, are used to store energy in an electric field. In the context of computing, capacitors are used to block the direct current being circulated around the motherboard. A typical capacitor should last up to 15 years, but some computer manufacturers use substandard capacitors resulting in shorter lifetimes. Computer Problems b> When a capacitor has gone bad on a computer you may experience a large range of problems. The computer may have trouble booting up, or it may shut down without notice after running for only a short period of time. The most common problems associated with faulty capacitors are that they cause unexpected computer crashes and general reliability issues ranging from read/write issues to distorted screen images. b> Identifying a Bad Capacitor b> To identify a bad capacitor you will need to open your computer case and locate the capacitors on your motherboard. A bad capacitor may exhibit swelling at the top or the base of the capacitor or it may sit at an awkward angle with the motherboard, so compare the various capacitors in your computer in terms of and placement. Additionally, a bad capacitor may have a funny smell or it may have a brownish residue leaking from the top or the base. b> Prevention b> Manufacturers claim that capacitors may go bad because a computer is not receiving enough power from a power supply, because of an overclocked processor or because a computer is operating in an environment with too much heat or humidity. However, some capacitors prematurely fail due to faulty work on the part of the manufacturer. If you have a bad capacitor be sure to do research as to the lifespan of other products made by your manufacturer.

Toshiba satellite l505d-s5983 fan not running continuously

Overheating When the CPU overheats then it will shut down (i.e. thermal overload) and won't boot up again until it has cooled down. If this is the problem is not fixed then the CPU will eventually fail. A faulty fan causes the problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are clogged with dust. Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan. If the fan and heat sink is clogged with dust the remove the dust and make sure the vents are clear and dust free. Use a small brush and can of compressed air to do this.

Is there any way to

If your laptop does not already have a HDMI port, then no you can not add a port.
Laptops are not as upgradeable as standard pc because they lack pci ports to plug in additional pci cards. You may however be able to find a HDMI output that plugs in via USB.
This would be a video output device.

Mu usb port and sound

If you just added new software, try uninstalling it and then reboot. If that does not work, go into your hardware settings in the control panel and check to see what it is saying about each component. If it sees the component, but shows that it has a problem (it may have a big yellow question mark), then you will likely have to download new drivers. It will cost you thirty dollars, but a membership at driveragent.com could save you a lot of hair pulling.

My laptop toshiba satellite L505DS5983

Hi there !

If hard disc is not detecting, I believe it is damage. I suggest if it is under warranty, just return it for free repair leaving the head ache for them.

For that you have to diagnose on what is the problem. Either the windows operating system is just corrupted. If so, just run your system back up disc to bring it back to life or your need to reinstall fresh operating system. But I suggest the first one.

I hope it help you.

Upon boot up the computer is asking for a password

If you are using windows xp , you can restart the laptop and press the f8 function key repeatedly until you come to a screen for boot mode selections. use the arrow keys to boot in safe mode. once in safe mode you can go to the controlpanel(user accounts) and delete the user password. then simply restart the laptop to gain acess normally. at this point you will no longer be asked for a password.
